Richard Hay presents the case for the importance, and especially the trustworthiness, of InternationalFinancial Centres. Whilst looking at the specific functions and roles that these centres occupy, he posits exactly what the world at large has to learn from them, and what they stand to lose without them. This is the second lecture from the LongFinanceSpringConference 2014.
With three nearby Crown Dependencies and six overseas territories promoting themselves as 'international financial centres', the UK seems to value offshore centres. Yet during current financial crises these havens are easy scapegoats. At the 2011G20Summit in Cannes, PresidentNicolas Sarkozy stated, "We don't want any more tax havens. Our message is clear, countries that remain tax havens ... will be shunned by the international community". But do these centres add value? And what of onshore havens such as Delaware, Monaco, Luxembourg ... London? This symposium will explore the good, the bad and the ugly -- savings, crimes and tax. We will look at how offshore centres do add value, their dangers and how things might evolve to something, perhaps "mid-shore".

The project was inspired by studying examples of prominent financial centers around the world. Financial centers in New York, London, Dubai and in the Far East were all examined to identify needs and develop the similar business model in Turkey. The Istanbul International Financial Center project, located in one of the most prominent areas of Istanbul that promises a prestigious investment, is a LEEDGold certificate candidate; a globally accepted certificate for green buildings.
The project is slated to initially turn Istanbul into a regional financial hub and eventually grow into a global financial hub.
Istanbul International Financial Center project will rise over a 303,000 m2 land space and 3,181,116m2 of construction area. Its architecture will embody Ottoman influences from the Grand Bazaar and the Topkapı Palace. Headquarters of prominent institutions, such as Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, Turkish RepublicZiraat Bank, Halk Bank, Vakıflar Bank, Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and Capital Markets Board of Turkey will also be present within the project. Additionally, the project will consist of four main regions and also host private management and audit companies, several buildings that belong to banks and financial institutions, a congress and cultural centre and houses as well as support and service units.
Ali El Salih, the foreign customer relations manager of Agaoglu, states “Istanbul International Financial Center Project, with its transportation, sustainability, structural, mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, security systems, information technology and a world-class quality of infrastructure disciplines will enable the finance center to be a benchmark project amongst other financial centers and it is located at the most valuable land to investment in Istanbul.”
Tax Advantages to Foreign Investors
The IFC project will be subject to separate regulations, by introducing a special mechanism in order to support the Financial Centre business model. Tax, allocation of investment, infrastructure works and services will be placed into this special incentive arrangement, hence encouraging foreign investment.
IFC is a Project Supported by The Turkish Government
IFC project has been established with the collaboration of Ministry of Development in Turkey and it is under the guarantee of Emlak Konut endorsed by TOKİ PrimeMinistry. Major government and semi government entities will be presented with their IFC offices in Istanbul.
Legal Implementation System Practised in IFC
Agaoglu has established a system for international law regulations which will be effecting the general operation of the Istanbul International Financial Centre; from taxing to law and from human resources to marketing the entire centre.
Shopping Mall, Cinema & Conference Center
About 41 thousand square meters of the overall 98 thousand square meter of the project enables IFC to be the shining star of Istanbul located in Atasehir and will cherish its surroundings with various facilities like congress and culture centers with 2.500 capacity to host word-class events, schools, mosques, police stations, fire stations, conference halls and shopping mall.

Financial centre

A financial centre is a location that is home to a cluster of nationally or internationally significant financial services providers such as banks, investment managers or stock exchanges. A prominent financial centre can be described as an international financial centre or a global financial centre and is often also a global city. An offshore financial centre is typically a smaller, low-tax jurisdiction that primarily serves non-residents.

Financial Center

Financial Center is a high-rise building located in the downtown area of Des Moines, Iowa. Completed in 1973 and standing at 345 ft (105m), it was the tallest building in the city and state until the completion of the Ruan Center in 1975, and is currently the fourth tallest.

The building consists mainly of office space and is connected to Des Moines' skywalk system. The ground floor also includes a Walgreens location.

The Future of International Financial Centres - Richard Hay

Richard Hay presents the case for the necessity of offshore centres: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-future-of-international-financial-centres
Richard Hay presents the case for the importance, and especially the trustworthiness, of InternationalFinancial Centres. Whilst looking at the specific functions and roles that these centres occupy, he posits exactly what the world at large has to learn from them, and what they stand to lose without them. This is the second lecture from the LongFinanceSpringConference 2014.
With three nearby Crown Dependencies and six overseas territories promoting themselves as 'international financial centres', the UK seems to value offshore centres. Yet during current financial crises these havens are easy scapegoats. At the 2011G20Summit in Cannes, PresidentNicolas Sarkozy stated, "We don't want any more tax havens. Our message is clear, countries that remain tax havens ... will be shunned by the international community". But do these centres add value? And what of onshore havens such as Delaware, Monaco, Luxembourg ... London? This symposium will explore the good, the bad and the ugly -- savings, crimes and tax. We will look at how offshore centres do add value, their dangers and how things might evolve to something, perhaps "mid-shore".
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-future-of-international-financial-centres
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website.
